I&#39;m surprised more RH hitters don&#39;t try to yank it down there, kind of like LH hitters in Chavez LAtrine going for that short porch in RF.<br /><br /><br />M.C.

I&#39;m sick of hearing about how PhoneCo suppresses the long ball because none of the other teams or hitters in baseball seem to think so.<br /><br />Barmes hit 23 HR one year (3009, age 30), but his lifetime SLG is .385! It&#39;s not like the guy is a power threat. And as you point out, he golfed an inside pitch that was diving in to him, well off the plate. It&#39;s like he was looking to do that particular thing, knowing it was the shortest route to the fence. I don&#39;t understand why Giants hitters can&#39;t deliver knock-out hits like that--hell, it&#39;s their yard!!!<br /><br />Man, I hate wasted starts. Early in the year, the Giants were winning despite bad starting pitching (except Bumgarner). Then the staring pitching got better, and the team started losing. And losing. None of the other parts of the equation (hitting, bullpen, fielding, baserunning) ever got on track. God, what a wretched season.<br />M.C.
